The Kingdom of Voskia (Voskian: E Regnu jé
Voschie) is an island kingdom in the Mediterranean.
Originally colonised by Phoenicians, it fell to the
Roman republic around 210 BCE. It switched hands
regularly between the 9th and 14th centuries, when it
became part of the Republic of Venice. From 1794 on, it
was subsequently conquered by the French, the Ottomans,
and then the British, who first established a
protectorate and then a kingdom in personal union with
the United Kingdom under George III (Jorju I). Accepting
only male primogeniture and excluding the Hanover branch,
the line of succession eventually fell to George III's
eighth son Octavius (Ottaviu), whose descendants form the
country's present royal family.
Voskia is recognisable because of its 'boomerang' shape.
Its closest neighbours are Italy to the north, Greece to
the east, Libya to the south, and Malta and Tunisia to
the west. It has altitudes up to 1877 metres (the highest
mountain is the Arsece) which are connected by lower
lying strips of land. The country has a mediterranean
climate with mild winters and hot summers.
Voskia is less developed in comparison to its neighbours
Italy and Greece, and it is the last remaining Southern
European country that hasn't joined the European Union yet;
it applied to become a member in 2022. Voskia is a
member of the international organisations the League of
Geofictional Nations (AGL) and the Forum of International
Cooperation and Trade (FICT). |
